Opulent wine. Very rich, but balanced - no signs of the 15.8% alc. Perfect spot right now. Raspberry, leather, pepper, cola. Drink

Delicious but still the same 93 as 2018. An interesting Zin blend that is a pleasure to drink, it went especially well with fettuccine Alfredo. 4/9/22 last bottle... same review and score, they were a pleasure to drink. Unfortunately, LC can no longer ship to NJ (the most corrupt state in the Union) so we'll be drinking down our stock of their wines :(

A nose of dark fruits and spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Zin blend with black cherry, cassis, licorice and a long finish. Always good every year. www.winelx.com

A bit sweet. I did not enjoy this as much as last time. Usually really like Linne.

Black cherry nose, medium to full body, mild acidity, silky tannins. Flavors of dark fruit, plum, medium long finish. Interesting wine, not exactly what I expected from a predominant Zinfandel blend.

Open well in advance (at least a couple of hours) to let breathe. Very rich nose, black cherry, jammy, structured tannins, superb with blue cheese.

Difficult to drink. Weird flavor profile with a touch of secondary bottle fermentation. One of the worst wines I have had in a while. Would not have guessed it is mostly Zin. Blech! No balance or refinement.

This is singing right now. A Zinfandel blend that held up extremely well over time. The fruit is massive, but it plays well with the acid and tannin. I don’t know what else to say. It’s just really, really good.

Bold, Zinfandel blend. Dark fruit, red fruit, with notes of caramel and raisins. Definitely a little hot, but in balance. Long finish, almost sweet.

We liked this blend (78% Zin), but it needs more time. Wonderful flavors that will be terrific when it smooths out.

Solid fruit in the mouth and on the finish but this is young and the fruit was a little jammy and bombastic for my preference. Good black and blue flavors but it needs time to dial back.
